I am an experienced freelance translator, reviewer and linguist specializing in English-Swahili and English-Kikuyu language pairs. With more than a decade of professional experience, I have worked on a wide range of projects in the humanitarian, educational, research, and faith-based sectors, providing accurate, natural, and culturally appropriate translations. A graduate of Moi University, with a Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics, I have supported organizations and initiatives such as CLEAR Global, Population Council of Kenya, and Ushahidi in translation, proofreading, transcription, subtitling, review and validation assignments. My expertise includes handling sensitive and specialized content while maintaining the intended tone, context, and meaning of the original message. I am skilled in the use of CAT tools such as MemoQ, Trados Studio, WordBee, Matecat, Phrase and CafeTrans Espresso, enabling me to deliver consistent and high-quality work efficiently. Known for professionalism, attention to detail, and strong communication skills, Cynthia is passionate about using language to connect people, support communities, and make information accessible across cultures.
